there was no mayor's office on disability. no disability council. there was a group of dedicated individuals working to advance our architectural access in san francisco and jewel was a very important part of the team. i was delighted when i saw she was appointed to the council in 2003, and promoted to being a chair in 2004. i was personally inspired as i watched this council hold hearings in the wake of hurricane katrina to talk about plans on how to integrate people with disabilities into the emergency plans. and to be part of the mayor's office of disability. and be part of the disability disaster preparedness movement. we have appreciated your leadership, your institutional knowledge. many times over the years as i heard the council hearing cases i see you make that connection to another hearing that was held maybe a year or two before, and seeing the larger picture really of what we are trying to accomplish here in san francisco. i wish you the best with love, with good speed. we hope to hear from you soon. congratulations. >> thank you very mu
